Throughout history, many Chinese medicine practitioners have a long life. For example, "Biography of Fang Shu in the Later Han Dynasty" contains: Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "is still a hundred years old"; In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao was 100 years old and was able to write a book and write down the immortal medical code "Thousand Women's Wings"; Zhen Quan, the author of "The Pulse of the Golden Needle" and "The Human Form of Tang Ming", lived 103 years old. Tan Renxian, a famous doctor in Song Dynasty, 108 years old; Wu Youke, a febrile disease scientist in Ming Dynasty, was also 100 years old. ...

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) lives a long life because they have the way to preserve health and live a long life, which is often seen in medical books of past dynasties. For example, Huangdi Neijing summarizes the experience of health and longevity before Qin and Han Dynasties. Peng Zu's longevity was recorded in Bao Pu Zi written by Ge Hong in Jin Dynasty. There are monographs on health and longevity in Sun Simiao's Thousand Golden Formulas and Thousand Golden Wings in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, Chen Zhi's The Way of Keeping Healthy in Song Dynasty, Gong Yanxian's The Way of Keeping Healthy in Ming Dynasty, Wanquan's Four Essentials of Keeping Healthy and Tang Hao's The Way of Keeping Healthy in Qing Dynasty are all introduced. Among them, there are more than 60 books about health and longevity in Ming Dynasty. Because most Chinese medicine practitioners know how to live long, there are more people who live long.

The comprehensive longevity experience of TCM mainly includes the following aspects:

Pay attention to prevention

Ancient people had to fight against natural disasters and wild animals, but science was underdeveloped, infectious diseases could not be controlled, and the medical effect of general diseases was poor, so the mortality rate of people was extremely high and the average life expectancy was short. If you don't pay attention to prevention, you can't live long. The so-called "prevention of disease" in Neijing emphasizes the importance of prevention.

Treat the disease as early as possible.

Zhang Zhongjing, who is respected as a medical sage, advocates early identification and early treatment. The preface to A-B Sutra says: "When Zhongjing met the king, his assistant was in his twenties, saying,' You are sick, and your eyebrows will drop at forty, and your eyebrows will drop after half a year. Making five-stone soup can be exempted. Zhong Xuan didn't understand medicine and didn't listen to advice, and finally died at the age of forty. "
